Spotify correlated a year&#8217;s worth of weather data from AccuWeather with over 85 billion Spotify streams to create Climatune.<\/p>\n<p>Climatune is a new playlist on Spotify that lets you check out the weather in your area and listen to a playlist that reflects the mood of the weather in your area. To create Climatune Spotify analysed listening data across five kinds of weather: Sun, rain, wind, clouds and snow.<\/p>\n<p>Spotify&#8217;s analysis found:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sunny days typically bring higher-energy, happier-sounding music\u00a0\u2014 songs that feel fast, loud and noisy, with more &#8220;action&#8221;, as well as happy, cheerful, euphoric emotions associated with the major mode and other musical factors<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Rainy days bring lower-energy, sadder-sounding music with more acoustic vs. electronic sounds<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Snowy days bring more instrumental music<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Data researcher at Spotify, Ian Anderson said: &#8220;There is a clear connection between what&#8217;s in the skies and what&#8217;s on users&#8217; play queues. For almost all of the major cities around the world that we studied, sunny days translate to higher streams of happier-sounding music. Sunny Weather has an even bigger impact in Europe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Spotify&#8217;s findings found that it wasn&#8217;t the weather itself, but how different places react to weather differently that was really interesting.<\/p>\n<p>For the US Spotify found that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>New York City and Philadelphia music lovers are the most affected by bad weather; residents of these cities substantially change their listening when it rains<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Unlike most city residents, Chicagoans actually get excited by the rain and stream happier music<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Miami and Seattle listeners don&#8217;t mind the clouds &#8211; they buck the trend and listen to more energetic music on cloudy days<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>San Franciscans, on the other hand, seem saddest on cloudy days<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Houston responds the most strongly to rain &#8211; they ditch the synthesizers and drum machines and their acoustic listening increases by 121 percent when it rain<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/spotify.com\/climatune\">You can listen to Climatune on Spotify now. If they don&#8217;t have your area it will work from the city closest to you.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spotify have teamed up with AccuWeather to find out what people listen to in different weathers and introduce new &#8216;Climatune&#8217; playlist.
